Alright folks! So the sun has shown a glimpse here and there and im looking to get my e30 cab out to play after 4 years chillin like a villain... All is good to go to get the car on the road except the roof... from what I remember I need to 'tighten' it up to the windscreen frame as its gotten a lit...

Thanks for the reply mate... ill go 215/40 on toyos proxy t1-r c

Peter D James insurance were great price wise... ive got 4 policies with them

Hey folks I am looking for a new set of tyres to stick on the Alpina replicas on my e30 cabrio but I was wandering if there is a particular model that works well on the e30 Also currently the tyres are 205/40/17 - I noticed that the inside rim of the alloy was showing so would it be okay to go for 2...

if you need any advice regards claims - poss write off or whatever pm meid be happy to help.

Call Mr A Lowe at accident exchange... I spoke with him today and they are fixing my car plus dealing with the whole shabang no stress at all for me!!! I have the same car as you with same damage and circumstances as you!!

good luck mate

Any other suggestions if the Alpines won't fit? I have also been told the In Phase SXT 5's will fit? I wouldn't buy "In Phase" as i've heard alot of negative stuff about them. I have JBL GTO's in the rears on the cab, can't remember the exact part number, but they fit. If you can figure out the siz...

Another Idea... Glasgow - my mate has a yard thats enough for 40 cars and there are several curry joints around the area... just off jct 20 off the kingston bridge. I know he would be keen because hes car mad - runs a hire company but unfortunately lost his licence for speeding... he needs a car fix.

Just a thought but how does this sound... A cafe in Edinburgh called Favorit - plenty parking outside and they make a great coffee plus have food etc... Its a usual stop off after a few of us have been out on the bikes or cars.... good place to chill and chat!

from what i know

elec windows, manual sunroof, alpina reps, history, clean inside out, no rust, shiny paint and no its std so no bolt on extras - the leather was an upgrade but they are gen seats

its a minter (grew up in jersey) auto, white, leather, solid underneath, looks amazing... 1600 without mot, tax???

Alrighty - So my e30 has been driven a shoddy 2000 miles in 4 years so im thinking its time to take it to a garage to give it a once over but I also need a very decent paint shop to weld on a new rear wing and match the paint... if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be massively app...

Alright Jim its been offered so not advertised anywhere...

Hey tanks for the replies... Ok so it seems the white smoke was down to the seriously frosty weather up here in scotland so i ran the car yesterday and all seems as it should be but to note at its recent oil change i stuck in some slick 50 ould this be the reason the oil is beige/brown (thin) cherry...

Hi, I went to start my 88 325i tonight to let it run a little... I instantly noticed the heavy amount of white smoke coming from the exhuast so i switched off and had a look at the engine oil. The oil seemed very runy and was a very light beige/brown colour, unsure if its becuase it recently had new...
